driver taken ill, driver under instruction, etc.), a
continuous pull on the control lever will brake
the vehicle. Braking takes place while the
control lever is being pulled. It is interrupted if
the control lever is released.
The ABS and DSC systems ensure stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking. If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
